Bovine Tuberculosis Movement Controls




304 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 11

(e) If that animal has been tested for bovine tuberculosis
while in the possession of the person who signed the
Declaration Card or on whose behalf the Declaration
Card was signed, the date of the last test and whether
or not tuberculosis was detected in respect to:
(i) the animal; and
(ii) the herd of origin.

(f) Whether that animal is being moved from a place
within a Risk Area and, if so, whether that animal
had been tested for bovine tuberculosis within 60
days prior to movement; and

(g) The bovine tuberculosis status of the animal, which
shall be the status given to the animal or herd of
origin by the Animal Health Board and shall be one
of the following:

(i) “Infected (l...n)”, where the index following the
status “Infected” represents the number of years
the herd has had an infected status.

(ii) “Clear (l...10)”, where the index following
the status “Clear”, represents the number of
years (to a maximum of 10) the herd has
had a clear status, except for those herds
classified as “cattle dry stock”, “venison”, or
“miscellaneous”. For these herds, the Clear
index is capped at a maximum value of “1”.

(iii) “Suspended”, which refers to animals from a
herd in which diagnosis of suspected
tuberculosis awaits confirmation or a herd
containing animals of unknown testing history
(including feral animals), for which sufficient
testing information to establish the herd status
has yet to be accumulated.

(iv) “Works monitored”, which refers to animals
from a herd not subject to on-farm testing under
the operational plan of the Animal Health
Board.

  1. Testing Prior to Movement From or Within Risk
    Areas

3.1 No cattle beast or deer aged 90 days or more may be
moved:

(a) from any Risk Area to a place outside that Risk
Area; or

(b) within any Risk Area from its herd of origin, or the
place or establishment at which the animal is being
kept to a place other than a place occupied by the
owner or person in charge of the cattle beast or deer;
unless it has undergone, within 60 days prior to the date
of movement, a negative test for bovine tuberculosis in
accordance with the Biosecurity (National Bovine
Tuberculosis Pest Management Strategy) Order 1998.

3.2 The restriction on movement in 3.1 does not apply where
an animal is being moved directly to a place of slaughter.

3.3 Notwithstanding 3.1, an animal may be exempted from
the requirement for a test in accordance with the Animal
Health Board Tuberculosis Operational Plan.

Dated at Wellington this 7th day of February 2002.
